Bar_bar...my heart goes out to you...I am praying for John's fast recovery and that the Lord grants you the strength to handle all HE has given you....I have a feeling that the back pains are coming from his kidney problems...I had recuring back pains on the right side for quite some time before my kidney procedure. and chest pains hopefully are from the strain his kidneys are putting on his heart and they will also go when the kidneys are fixed....both of my kidneys are operating on 50 %..and the right one had the blocked arteries in it which didn't allow the blood to flow through...since my hospital stay all the back pains, stomach pains, flatuence and high blood pressure have left my body...and I pray that this will also happen with John...know that he is is good hands with Jesus and the hospital staff and his doctors..they will help him in every way available...and before you know it he will be home and you can both get on with your lives and enjoy your grandbaby....My love, hugs and prayers to you both, my friend....
my prayers are also with all my fc friends and their loved ones who are in need of prayers at this time....
